Context:

Exploiting the opportunities offered by the additive manufacturing of advanced polymer-based materials for the realization of high-performance microchannel heat exchangers, for next-generation electronics thermal management solutions.

The challenge:

• Design and realise by additive manufacturing a polymer-based microchannel heat exchanger, delivering prototypes with different geometrical features and performance.
• Complete a preliminary testing activity of at least one prototype, either rat a testing station available from a partner organization, or by realising an internal testing station.
• limited choice for materials selection.
• The lack of hydraulic or other interconnections, which are made of different materials with respect to the heat exchanger and must be joined later.
• Limited heat transfer efficiency
